Why Choose the ABB SH201-C25 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The ABB SH201-C25 is a compact and reliable single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the ABB Protecta Home / SH200 range, it combines a rated current of 25 A, a Type C tripping characteristic and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for dependable protection in residential, commercial and similar electrical installations.
The SH201-C25 uses a thermal-magnetic operating mechanism, providing thermal protection against sustained overload currents and magnetic protection against short-circuit faults. Its Type C characteristic is suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, making it appropriate for a wide range of general-purpose loads and equipment.
With a rated current of 25 A, a single protected pole and a rated operational voltage of 230 / 400 V AC, the SH201-C25 provides effective circuit protection in a compact one-module format. Its DIN-rail mounting enables straightforward installation in consumer units, distribution boards and electrical control enclosures.

Reliable Protection for Electrical Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the ABB SH201-C25 automatically disconnect a circuit when excessive current occurs. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic element provides rapid operation during high-current short-circuit faults, helping protect wiring and connected electrical installations.
The Type C tripping characteristic allows the SH201-C25 to accommodate higher normal inrush currents than a Type B device, making it suitable for many circuits supplying equipment with moderate starting currents. Its compact single-pole construction and standard DIN-rail mounting allow efficient integration into residential, commercial and similar electrical distribution equipment.
Typical Applications
- Residential electrical distribution boards.
- Consumer units and final circuit protection.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- General-purpose electrical circuits.
- Circuits with moderate starting or inrush currents.
- Distribution and control panels.
